'GTA 6' Release Date, News & Update: ‘Grand Theft Auto’ In Manila Could Top A London Map From Rockstar?

The "GTA 6" map to be used by Rockstar for the newest "Grand Theft Auto" iteration is perhaps one of the more exciting aspects of this waiting game. Especially with the mill buzzing that Rockstar could take "GTA 6" outside of the US borders and onto its first main non-American map, the new "Grand Theft Auto" in Manila is now contending with a London map.

Although "Grand Theft Auto" fans are largely happy to see Rockstar continue exploring maps within the US borders, a significant number expressed their hope to see "GTA 6" in an overseas map. Of the "GTA 6" possibles London has, by far, retained a strong lead over such proposals as Moscow and Rio de Janeiro.

  In a recent GTA 5 Cheats analysis, Rockstar taking the new "Grand Theft Auto" iteration to Manila was interestingly given a fairly decent grade of A+. According to GTA 5 Cheats, "GTA 6" with a Manila map would offer Rockstar the opportunity to create a "stunning" "Grand Theft Auto" iteration.

Citing story potential, GTA 5 Cheats proposed taking the multiple protagonist model of "Grand Theft Auto" 5 and scaling back to a two-person lead for "GTA 6." According to the media outlet, Rockstar could make one of the "GTA 6" leads a vigilante, while the other could link to a crime syndicate.

The media outlet qualifies that having a "GTA 6" protagonist play a drug dealer in the Philippines is begging for public protest against "Grand Theft Auto." However, the media outlet maintains that a dual-lead approach for "GTA 6" in Manila could fly.

GTA 5 Cheats proposes exploring the geographical potential as well as the crime profile available with a "GTA 6" Manila map to appreciate the "Grand Theft Auto" franchise in Asia. Parent Herald cites reports that in the past, Rockstar reportedly explored taking "Grand Theft Auto" to Tokyo, but were deterred by the road system in Japan.

At the moment projections for the "GTA 6" release date by Rockstar tag 2018 as the earliest release and 2020 as the latest. Would you play a "GTA 6" set in a Manila map?
